By the late 1980s six principal commercial CEBC technologies were available (42). In 1993 the largest CEBC ia operation is expected to be the Pyropower Corporation s 165 MWe reheat coal-fired unit, under constmction siace 1991 at the Poiat Aconi Station of Nova Scotia Power Corp. (43). Combustion and SO2 control ia this unit is to be carried out ia the water-cooled riser. The unit is expected to operate at 870°C to optimize sulfur capture. The cyclone separators are refractory-lined and are supported approximately 30 m above grade.

Environmental benefits of Emission Controls. Information in Figure 5 illustrate that the emission of sulphur in eastern North America has declined over the past decade. This decline allows for a possible verification of the dose-response relationships on which the environmental concerns for emissions have been based. A decline in sulphate deposition in Nova Scotia has apparently resulted in a decrease in acidity of eleven rivers over the period 1971-73 to 1981-82 (47), In the Sudbury, Ontario area where emissions have dechned by over 50% between 1974-76 and 1981-83, a resurvey of 209 lakes shows that most lakes have now become less acidic. Twenty-one lakes that had a pH < 5.5 in 1974-76 showed an average decline in acidity of 0.3 pH units over the period (48), Surveys of 54 lakes in the Algoma region of Ontario have shown a rapid response to a decline in sulphate deposition. Two lakes without fish in 1979 have recovered populations as pH of the water moved above 5.5 (49). Evidence is accumulating to support the hypothesis of benefits that were projected as a consequence of emission controls. This provides increased confidence in the projections. 

The mink Mustela vision) is a piscivorous mammal that also has been exposed to relatively high dietary levels of methyl mercury in North America in recent times. In a Canadian study, mink trapped in Yukon territory, Ontario, and Nova Scotia were analyzed for levels of mercury and abundance of muscarinic, cholinergic and dopaminergic receptors in the brain (Basu et al. 2005). A correlation was found between total Hg levels and abundance of muscarinic receptors, but a negative correlation was found between total Hg and abundance of dopaminergic receptors. Thus, it was suggested that environmentally relevant concentrations of Hg (much of it in methyl form) may alter neurochemical function. The highest levels of mercury contamination were found in mink from Nova Scotia that had a mean concentration of total Hg of 5.7 pg/g in brain, 90% of which was methyl mercury.

Waters Seawater (National Research Council Canada 1992) was collected in the North Atlantic Ocean at a depth of 10 m, 35 km southeast of Hahfax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The water was peristaltically pumped through cleaned polyethylene-hned ethyl vinyl acetate tubing and 0.45-pm acrylic copolymer filters. It was acidified to pH 1.6 with ultrapure nitric acid during its immediate transfer to 50-L acid-leached polypropylene carboys, previously conditioned with ultrapure water acidified to pH 1.6. The seawater was later homogenized in two linked 800-L polyethylene tanks in a clean room and immediately bottled in cleaned 2-L polyethylene bottles. Randomly selected bottles were used for analytical measurements.
